Fiduciary credentials Summit Group Retirement Planners is a small, fiduciary-focused firm (CEFEX certified) specializing in qualified retirement plans, presenting an opportunity to upsell fiduciary advisory services and retirement plan consulting to mid-market employers seeking compliant, low-risk solutions.

3(38) Investment Management The firm offers 3(21) Co-Fiduciary and 3(38) Investment Manager services, signaling potential to expand outsourcing arrangements for plan sponsors who want dedicated investment oversight and governance, especially for clients seeking robust fiduciary support.
